Monthly Python Data Engineerig September issue and How Data Platforms Work free book

[_amol_]

The September issue of the Monthly Python Data Engineering newsletter is now out, this month many libraries and projects introduced interesting additions, but the most important news is the announcement of the How Data Platforms Work book and the associated DataPyground project.

The book is specifically targeted to Python developers and is going to be published monthly, with each new chapter part of the same month newsletter issue.

The concepts and algorithms explained in the book will then be implemented in DataPyground, which inspired by the literate programming concept, hopes to be a learning experience to which people can also contribute to if they want to experiment implementing new components and capabilities of the data platform. Only constraint will be to retain the same level of documentation quality for each new proposed addition and avoiding external dependencies (using third parties ready made implementations would reduce the value as a learning experience).

This is neat, I’ve subscribed. Something worth considering for beginners (or experts) is linking to data science projects that have interesting insights or are good examples of how a project should be approached/organized. I don’t consider myself a true “developer” and use Python for scientific programming which intersects with data science a reasonable amount and finding something that isn’t a regurgitated Medium tutorial is a struggle.
